Cancer

Mesothelioma and Veterans

1/3 of all mesothelioma patients are veterans, and approximately 6,000 veterans afflicted with this asbestos-caused cancer died between 1999 and 2005 alone. The reason this cancer targets so many veterans is because of the prevalence of asbestos use in the military in the past. Part of our mission is to spread awareness to veterans and their families. Our websitewww.mesotheliomaguide.com offers free veteran specific resources and support for patients and families.
